Irish Step Dancing and clogging are NOT the same thing at all.

I know people who are good at both, I've clogged but never tried step dancing.

you can tell step dancing by arms held straight down at the sides

cloggers have more arm movement and less leg 'swiveling'

I've heard it said that clogging was derived from step dancing

I disagree and would say it is closer to Morris Dancing

just my opinion

[slaminsamn]

:) i love tap and clog lol well done! VERY NICE

I'm by no means any sort of dancer. Believe me I've tried, but I can't seem to keep rythm at all. So in my book, Very Very Well Done!!

These are 'Irish Step Dancers' not "Cloggers"! Clogging is not Irish in origin but North British. The factory workers used to wear wooden soled clogs to work and after the work week was over they would dance in their clogs which was generally quite different from Irish dance.

@MOGGYWW This is in fact Irish step dancing, but i do recognize a lot of these girls from a clogging group. And we also don't wear wooden shoes anymore... XD!

there should definitely be hard shoe choregraphies at oireachtas!! idk if its like against the rules or not. if it isnt, someone should do it. if it is... that rule should be abolished. this was great!

[bradleyjuju]
